That's a big if too lol. But even then AUS' buyback only got about 700,000 firearms handed to the government, at the cost of over $700 million to taxpayers. At 600,000,000 guns, that'd be $6.E11 if ours cost the same as theirs did in '96. Something tells me we don't have scientific notation money just laying about.
And historically in the US buyback programs only do get those shitty revolvers and Jimenez arms, at best someone prints a bunch of chairmanwons or DIAS and exploits the system.
Then we'd need to define what the sensible laws are, and somehow make it so they're not abused, which is easier said than done.
And tbh they have good reason to be afraid of their government. Less so neighbors, but them too sometimes, shit gets violent over here, and sometimes you do need to protect yourself.
